<h1> Running and Debugging </h1>
<p> You may launch your Java programs from the workbench.&nbsp; The programs may be launched in either run or debug mode. </p>
<ul>
  <li> In run mode, the program executes, but the execution may not be suspended or examined. </li>
  <li> In debug mode, execution may be suspended and resumed, variables may be inspected, and expressions may be evaluated. </li>
</ul>
